Pauline Yvonne Robins

I have practiced family law for 20 years, 17 years of litigating cases in court along with mediating cases out of court; and for the past 2 years mediation and collaborative family law only.  I work with Peace Talks Mediation and Collaborative Family Law services in Playa del Rey .     We utilize a team approach at Peace Talks, consisting of a family law attorney mediator; a financial mediator and collaborative neutral, Stephanie Maloney CFP, CDFA and owner of Peace Talks; and a licensed psychologist with extensive experience working with family law clients.   My decision to stop litigating and focus exclusively on mediation and collaborative family law was made after seeing the uncertainty involved in having a judge in an overly burdened court system trying to make the right decision; the runaway fees and costs to the clients; and the agonizing length of time it took to bring cases to a satisfactory conclusion when dealing with opposing counsel and the court system in general.   It became clear to me that as painful as it is, the clients should be making their own important decisions regarding custody of their children, support, and division of their property with the assistance of a team of professionals out of court.  Whether you are contemplating a Premarital Agreement;  need assistance in reaching an out of court settlement in your divorce; or want a post judgment modification, our team at Peace Talks is there for you.   Please call Peace Talks at 310 301-2100 for a free orientation session and ask for Pauline Y. Robins, or call my cell at if you would like to discuss this process further.
